Follow-Up Postings:
The first thing I would consider is getting some type of track lighting, so that you could direct light down onto the walls to wash the walls with light, rather than creating glare with all the light at the ceiling from what I affectionately call 'ceiling boob lights'. :-) Then perhaps a photo gallery on the two larger spaces on the right, frames of various sizes but similar finishes, in groupings, not a straight line. No art that is best viewed from a bit of a distance - that will never be possible in that hallway. Two shorter runners, rather than one long one, set on top of the rug would help break up the long continuous runway feeling of the flooring. |
I agree with Les that some groups of photos or pictures would look nice along the right hand wall. This Pottery Barn link may give you some ideas. |

Les, ceiling boob lights LOL! Unfortunately, we're trying not to invest too much more in this house so I don't know if DH will be interested in new lighting. That does sound nice, though. I'm definitely interested in the photo groupings and runners for the carpet. Any suggestions for what to do with the left walls. The one toward the end is about 10 ft. I don't want a hallway/photo gallery, but I don't have any idea of art work to blend with the photos. |
Paint. Maybe frame the wall with trim and put a pic inside of the frame along with a complementary paint color like a terra cotta or sage green? Does that make sense? Essentially put a box around art using white trim. I'd use some black frames too... Maybe use some art that is tied together, that tells a story as you walk down the hall... Not sure if a chair rail would add to the length...paint the bottom one color, the top another? (Too stripey maybe) This reminds me of a hall of a house I lived in during my early teen years but there was a setp at the far end where an addition was put on. At the end was a table...that I fell into one day and got 13 stitches in my forehead. Ouch. Don't put a table at the end...LOL! |

We have a hallway we refer to as "the bowling alley" LOL! I do have a couple of little niches and window seats to break it up but it's still very long. Like others had mentioned above, I did a photo wall. My photos are still a work in progress, but I'm planning to nail some of these up and lean some but haven't gotten that far yet. |

cindy, my suggestion was going to be the track light. Lindy, that is one loooonnnnng hallway. How many feet or should I ask miles, is it? LOL |
The idea of different lighting is terrific (those overheads make it look like a utility space in a hospital basement! What I did in a (much shorter) hallway in the past was to paint each wall a different color (white & charcoal) to relieve the tunnel effect, and hang complementary artwork on each wall. Mirrors opposite interesting hanging art, fabrics, a hoya vining down from a wall sconce type of pot, etc. can do wonders too. Have you considered making a couple of niches between wall studs and putting sculpture in them, with tiny individual lights from below? |
We have one of loooong hallways. But I have a cased opening about halfway down that breaks it up a little. We are still working on replacing the trim work out of the second part of the hallway. I agree with Less that you can't view art in a long narrow space...that is why I opted to do a cross wall. I think you could achieve a nice look with a collectible type collage on one of the walls. We do have room to have a thin depth table in the first of the hallway with art above it. But you can view the art from the dining room which is directly across from the small table. We have ideas for the second part of the hallway...just haven't implemented the ideas yet. Sorry for the blurry picture. |
I don't have any ideas for you, just wondering how you got hold of a picture of MY hallway! Seriously, I have the exact same hallway - length, number of doors, blank walls - except in reverse. I'll definitely be taking not of the great advice above! |
I'm glad you started this thread, Cindy. It's very hard to find pictures of pretty hallways, and yet probably most of us have halls. I did a thread in the Gallery about Entries and Hallways. I did find a few pics of halls to post there, though not nearly as many as I would have liked. I hope others will add more photos to these threads. Anyway, you might want to take a look at it. |

track lighting for sure. It is the first thing I thought when I looked at the picture. Track lighting does not have to be expensive. |
I would just paint it. Specially if you do some faux effect or maybe that paint that looks like suede, that will be your artwork. I was going to say a red or terracotta until I noticed your wallpaper. So I'll say green or a golden color to pick up on the vines of the wallpaper. The only type of art I would hang is either black/white photos with matching frames or possible black/white prints that you can get inexpensive at any store. I think everybody would love to change the lighting but I understand about adding money or specially if you have a husband that does not do electricity (like mine). |
- Posted by last_mango (My Page) on Fri, Feb 22, 08 at 10:26
What about making the light fixtures the focus? I love the different chandeliers in riverrat's hall. eBay is a great source for vintage / unique lighting that isn't too expensive. We replaced our "boob light" (ha) with a 'sputnik' version to help out a boring hall. |
Hope ours will give you some inspiration too. Joyce |
Here is a link that might be useful: green LONG hallway
"Ceiling boob lights"... ROTFL! Try hanging a pretty wreath on the end door. This will give your eyes something pleasant to focus on as you take that looonnnngg walk. You said you didn't want a photo gallery... but if it were me, I think I would put in a long picture shelf. Like Lindybarts, but I would do one long one. Then put up a zillion pictures. Any subject, any size... as long as the frames are the same color, it would work. Yes, I know, this would emphasize the length of the hallway, but I believe in embracing what you cannot disguise, LOL. |
Oh,and ALSO -- Why not paint that door at the end of the hallway RED? The red color would make it appear closer, which would seem to shorten the hallway. You could also hang a long string along the wall, and hang your favorite photos or kid-art, using colorful clips. |

joyceshaw....WOW..that is a beautiful hallway. I love the niches. What color green paint is that?? brutuses...yeah, it's quite the trek isn't it. It turned out that way because of our long narrow lot. We didn't want to make the house wider or we'd lose the small amount of backyard we had..so we worked with what we had. It's something like 48' long. Like I said...a bowling alley! |
I read recently where in a hallway, photos/prints should be featured on one wall, not both, so you avoid the "tunnel" effect, and keep your guests from having to glance from one side to the other. Kind of makes sense. I like the suggestion of painting the end a different color, maybe also the opposing blank wall a darker shade? |
You might also think about mirroring the door at the end of the hallway - it will draw your eye to that point, rather than the length of the walls on either side. Wouldn't have to be a solid mirror, but mirrors that could be set on each of the panels of the door and framed with simple moulding for interest. IKEA has track lighting options that are reasonable. You wouldn't have to replace all three lights, perhaps, but maybe just the ones on either end and cap off the middle fixture. |
- Posted by cindylouhoo (My Page) on Fri, Feb 22, 08 at 20:37
I really appreciate all the suggestions! I'll look into the track lighting, but in the meantime, I do like the look of the shelves with photos in Lindy's and Joyce's hallways. Lindy, I shouldn't be complaining about my hallway being long compared to yours! Joyce, your hall is beautiful with all the recesses and trim. Mclarke and Les, that door on the end is actually to our master bedroom. I closed it just for the pic, but it is usually open. Would you paint just the end wall a different color? Maybe we could paint the whole hallway a nice shade of green as mlraff53 suggested. The green in Jim's picture is nice as is Joyce's green. |
Cindy, did you see the ones in the Gallery? I love the one with the big lights hanging over the pictures. Joyce, wow, that's got to be the prettiest hallway I've seen. Those niches, do they back on bedrooms? Does this make the bedroom walls "paper thin" in terms of noise? Did you do this yourself? Or have it done? |
Our hallway is 38' long and looked like an empty tunnel before we added the very narrow (8") table, the runner and the artwork. We have 3 doorways on the right and 2 large windows on the left, along with the obvious door at the end. |
- Posted by cindylouhoo (My Page) on Fri, Feb 22, 08 at 21:08
Oceanna, yes, thank you for creating that link in the Gallery. The one you mentioned is very nice! I haven't brought up the lighting to DH yet. He's been extra busy lately. This home decorating will be an on-going project ; ) |
Love all the terrific comments. So many people put such thought into this. I love this web site and I really appreciate all the ideas especially since I, myself am not creative. Please look at my hallway and add any comments. In the middle of this hallway is the opening to the foyer/front door so I could put something in the hallway there, a skinny table I guess. That would break it up a bit. I love the idea of the pics on the walls and also the use of the narrow shelving for the pictures. My hallway is only 41 inches wide so I don't know that the shelving would work. So much wall, too many pictures I think. What else can I do? What would be the best color for the walls? What should I put on the far end? Right now I have a narrow table with a mirror on the wall and a lamp on the table. |
Dark colors approach, light colors recede. Here are my suggestions: If the hall carpet is still in good condition, choose a monochrome color palette based on it. Paint the side walls the same color as the carpet, use a coordinating white on the ceiling, and a deeper shade on the end wall. Painting your walls the same color as your floor makes the room look bigger, but if the carpet needs replacement, then a monochrome palette built around sagey colors would also be nice. Use your ceiling color for your doors and door surrounds. Get oversized square, white, ceiling-mounted fixtures to replace the dingy, dated ceiling lights, and install some of the narrow white picture-shelving as shown above. Start introducing your DH to the concept of staging for sale, if he is reluctant to spend anything on a house that you are going to put back on the market soon. Maybe the market is still good where you are, but most places you need some extra appeal to move a property quickly. Sprucing your house up and making it look brighter, fresher and more contemporary will make it nicer for you and easier to sell. |

I really like the molding framed mirrors Jim posted. Really helps open up the "tunnel". |
If you hang pictures, I would recommend mostly large ones with simple lines. Too many small ones might just look busy and "lost." I think a bold paint color, several large framed items, and new lighting if you can swing it . . .that would do a lot. My mom has large (not so long like yours) wall in her black/white kitchen that is red. It is striking. She has a huge framed textile from Pakistan, and lighting to highlight it. I always feel like I am in an art gallery. I don't see one like hers on this site, but I've inc. a link for wall hangings. |

Thank ya'll for the kind remarks. The green paint is called gumleaf by Monarch. The niches came with the house. We actually did quite a number of things to beautify the hallway: 1. hardwood floor 2. chair rail, picture frame, two levels of crown molding. 3. paint the niches a darker shade of green. 4. ledges and pictures from our honeymoon, some flowers, etc. 5. bought artwork to dress up the niches. I'm attaching a BEFORE picture to show the differences. Joyce |

my sil has a rather long hallway and she took an assortmant of old family pictures and then recent family pictures done in black & white or sepia tones to match the old photos and framed them and hung them all down the hallway. i always enjoy looking at them and with todays technology it is so easy to take color photos and print them as b&w or sepia. actually my dd & ds each gave us pictures of themselves as toddlers with my dh and i that were oldened and framed; we did another of our youngest and are going to do a wall with them and other pcs of art in black, browns and goldish hues over a black piano that has two handmade lights from Spain that will match with all of the above colors. I think something in your hall along those lines would look pretty cool, too. Also agree with the lighting idea. |

Monablair, Can you tell me where you got the narrow hall table? I also have a very narrow hallway and am looking for a table this size. Thanks! |
I got it at a close out sale from a local decorator who was closing shop. But my niece just bought one that's similar and I know that item is current. I'll get the info from her. |
- Posted by kitchen_girl (My Page) on Thu, Feb 28, 08 at 16:30
Thanks I would appreciate it |
Loved your creative ideas, but have to be the lone dissenting voice on the track lighting. I guess I'm all by myself in my total aversion to that. The interesting halls pictured here seem to have either recessed can lights, like in joyce's beautiful halls, wall sconces, or chandeliers. And frankly I'd take "boob" lights over track ones if that were the only option--but fortunately it's not. The recessed can lights can be eyeballs that rotate and will light the walls if you feel a need to change them. I appreciate you asking this question and the interesting ideas! |
- Posted by gagesgranny (My Page) on Fri, Feb 29, 08 at 7:25
Joyce---your home is lovely. Love your paint color choices. Is it gumleaf in all of the rooms that appear green on my monitor? Your bathroom colors are so nice as well. |
Wow, mine is not nearly as long as some of yours! One of the first things we did when we bought our house 17 years ago was to put a skylight in our hallway. It forms an L shape and was dark and dreary. I also think solar tubes are a great option. I like the runners and photo galleries which are in my long range plan. The niches are an option, though if they go between the studs may cut down on soundproofing/privacy--if that is an issue for anyone. |
gagesgranny, yes, gumleaf is used throughout most of the house except some niches and DD's room (pink and green -- celery from EK). Thanks for your kind words. Joyce |
Well, mine is probably not what you have in mind, but I get loads of compliments. It's so dark that I needed to lighten it up. I added a mirror in the darkest part, that helped a lot. This is the other end, the end with the light. I kept all accessories in black. On the cabinets I put ginormous rhinestone pulls. |

Problems Solved. Great Service Recovery.I ordered my metal detector and supplies for a relic hunting vacation. It took more than 3 attempts to get the shipment and it arrived after my vacation. However, your staff did a remarkable job keeping me informed and sticking with the situation until it was resolved. Their attempt at service recovery is the only reason I will consider purchasing from Kellyco again.
I got the AT PRO and All the extra goodies for the advertised price. Also bought a coil cover. And they have free freight right now. I received the package yesterday, Wednesday June 29 at 2:30 pm. It was ordered on Monday afternoon, June 27th at about 2:00 pm. I think that was fast. I got home from work yesterday afternoon and had some chores to do but I could not resist opening the package. After I found the operators manual I assembled the unit with my brother. I was very excited with the look and light weight of the AT PRO. The old antique machines I have really put you through a work out over several hours.
Later that day I had finished some chores and had some free time. I had already been watching some of Garrets training videos on the use of the At Pro, So I figured I had a general Idea of the controls. I know I need to read the manual. I just could not resist. I got the new machine and a small scoop and headed out in the yard. I walked over to in front of a old mobile home I rent. Then I set up the controls to best suit my property in standard mode.
After ground balancing, I had to turn down the sensitivity a few notches. Then set iron disc to 36. Right away after I started the search around the side walk, I got a good high tone signal as shown on the training video. And the depth was 4". So I took the scoop and popped out the very first Penny with the new machine. Then within a short time I found 3 more before calling it quits. I had to leave soon or I would of kept hunting. Total time setting up the unit, hunting and digging up the 4 targets was about 20 minutes. I know the finds were not Gold but at least they were not trash, and I've had enough Trash digging over the last month using the old machines. Thanks GARRETT and thanks for a great deal and service KELLYCO.

I have 11 4-week old Pilgrim geese. They are getting their feathers and are hopping aroud a bit, but not getting off the ground. When they are adults, will they be heavy enough so they won't get off the ground, or will I need to clip their wings? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by gardendawgie (My Page) on Thu, Jun 11, 09 at 4:58
Leave the wings alone. They have no chance to fly. Way to heavy. None of the geese can fly except a wild Canadian goose. none of the ducks are wing clipped either. except maybe a wild duck like a mallard. Do not worry you will know when to clip a bird wing. For now clip no wings. |
- Posted by laturcotte1 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 17, 09 at 13:57
I agree no wing clipping needed. I have two Roman Tufted and during the day they have the run of our fenced in yard. When they first got their flight wings they saw me outside the fence and decided to follow. They've flown over it twice but only at the beginning, barely clearing it, but they couldn't wait to get back in. Mind you the fence is only 4.5 feet high and they barly made it. They are now 4 and haven't done it since. Mine are happy grazing on the grass, making nests and laying eggs, they are both females and lay about 50 eggs a year. They have the life. Of course they LOVE their kiddy pool. Good luck they are a handful. Of course I wouldn't trade mine for anything. |
- Posted by gardendawgie (My Page) on Sat, Jun 20, 09 at 23:21
Get them a Gander so they can have fun and hatch a few. You will love it with baby geese following the parents. I used to have 30 geese. 5 or 6 different kinds. Loved them but I really dont want geese these days. I had a pair of rouen ducks that I really loved. Fox got them. I will stick with chickens because they go inside the house at night. The ducks and geese wanted to stay outside at night. Your Roman Tuffed goose would be more acceptable because it is smaller. They also give more eggs. I had huge geese and they ate too much. Well with 30 huge geese they went through a bag of food pretty fast. |

InfoWhale writes "Nat Hentoff, one of America's leading fighters for intellectual freedom, has written six columns - 2 syndicated and four for the Village Voice - about ALA's refusal to join the rest of the world in demanding the release of imprisoned librarians. This finale asks the question - "What does Mr. Hentoff know of the real Cuba?" I know that if I were a Cuban, I would be in prison."
read it in the Village Voice
The ALA is politically hypocritical in denouncing Bush administration policies but not Castro's, and ineffectual in fighting library budget downsizing. There is no reason, either political or careerwise, for me to ever join the ALA.
Nor my money.Until ALA starts doing something for librarians, in an effectual way, I will keep my money.
Today's Bergen Record has a story about how Castro is claiming that Bush is trying to kill him.

Greasemonkey script to change colors on a website with nested framesets.
I've been trying to find out how to change the background color of a particular webpage by creating a Greasemonkey script (using Firefox here). The problems arise when apparently I need to target each frame individually. How do I refer to them? Being a noob to javascript (god, even that is an overstatement), I've tried gazillion different combinations of commands (code) to acheive this, so far I've had two kinds of results: only the first frame (named menupane) gets altered or nothing gets altered.
Here's the source code of the website:
Code:<html> <head><title>The Kingdom of Loathing</title> </head> <frameset id=rootset cols="4*,*"> <frameset id=menuset rows="50,*"> <frame name=menupane src="topmenu.php" scrolling=no></frame> <frameset id=mainset cols="200,*"> <frame name=charpane src="charpane.php"> <frame name=mainpane src="main.php"></frame> </frameset> </frameset> <frame name=chatpane src="chatlaunch.php"></frame> </frameset> </html>
Anyway... this code only changes the frame named 'menupane'. Nothing else. I had the impression that 'window' was the topmost object and all frames are its obedient bit-- slaves. I guess not.
This piece of work (one of the thousands) I came up with changes absolutely nothing. Zip. Zero. Ever been that noob coder trying to figure out the correct order of things, or what is even remotely appropriate code with zero guidance?
Here are some things to be taken into consideration:
- No other Greasemonkey script can't conflict with this script since I've disabled them during the testing (got dozen other scripts to alter that website).
- I know about the feature in Firefox with which you can change the background and text color in ALL pages, but really, I just want to invert the colors on this one website, since too much white starts to hurt my eyes after a while. Google will be next. Are there any other options than Greasemonkey to acheive this kind of thing ("simple" change of colors on user's end)?
Has Googling for javascript tutorials been helpful? Yes, a little. Confusing? Twice so.
I just want the background to be black and text white/light grey... I'll figure out the colors once I can target the frames correctly.
Is there any other information I might provide that might be essential in troubleshooting this?
Thank you in advance.Last edited by Cleesh; 03-29-2008 at 04:32 AM.

I just did. Pretty sure that exact line was among one of the first attempts. I wish it worked, but it doesn't (no visible change). Also, Error Console (in Firefox: Tools -> Error Console) says
window.frames.charpane has no properties
It's always saying something similar. Bla bla has no properties, depending on the code that was attempted.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The following is a selection of quotes from editorials published in 23
July editions of Hebrew-language Israeli newspapers available to BBCM.
Settlement construction freeze
"As things look now, Netanyahu is about to reach the end of September
with a political freeze and construction unfreeze: What he should
unfreeze, he freezes and what he needs to unfreeze, he freezes. Lucky
for him, the Palestinians are not helping him. The contacts for direct
talks are not taking off despite the international efforts. Meanwhile,
he does not talk about continuation of the freeze; also not about
stopping it. What for: If the efforts to get on the political track fail
because of the Palestinians' position, who will complain to him if it
ends? Anyway, he does not intend to officially declare this and what one
does not talk about, does not exist Among the seven most prominent
ministers there is a majority for ending the freeze." [From commentary
by Sima Kadmon in centrist, largest circulation Yediot Aharonot]
"Many people can't see Bibi getting up and announcing on September 27
that starting today construction is being renewed. It's hard to believe
he would declare the construction freeze dead and buried after the
reconciliation with US President Barack Obama. Intelligence and Atomic
Energy Minister Dan Meridor believes it is half tea and half coffee; in
other words: We continue the freeze, but only in places that, it is
agreed, won't be in our hands at the end of the negotiations. In theory
that sounds logical, but in fact who will determine without direct
negotiations what will or won't remain in our hands in the framework of
two states for two peoples? And the Palestinians won't be satisfied with
crumbs." [From commentary by Yoel Marcus in left-of-centre, independent
broadsheet Ha'aretz]
Avigdor Lieberman
"[Foreign Minister Avigdor] Lieberman despises all: He despises
Netanyahu, who fears him, he despises the ministers who shield him, he
despises the media that dances around him, he despises his faction
members who obey all his caprices. His image among the public is of a
strong man, extremist in his opinions but credible, a super bastard, one
who knows what he wants and how to get it. This image in the invention
of the entertainment industry A malicious character is not necessarily a
strong character; racist statements are not necessarily a world view. In
short: The wild boy of the class is not always the successful boy."
[From commentary by Nahum Barnea in centrist, largest circulation Yediot
Gaza war report
"The mini-storm around the Eiland report has already calmed down. But
the report itself is making its way to various hands in the security
establishment and now first details are beginning to leak out Gleaning
some of them reinforces the impression that what was presented at the
press conference differs in spirit from the report itself It is
impossible not link this to the context of this week's affair - the
response to the UN in the matter of the Goldstone report, from which it
arises that Israel undertakes to limit use of white phosphorus
ammunition in urban areas Like many others, I heard the official
explanation according to which what seemed like phosphor was smoke bombs
wrapped in felt that looks like phosphor Also here, the feeling is that
Israeli citizens are provided with vague explanations It seems the
security establishment thinks that we do not want to know or is
convinced that the whole thing is for foreign consumption." [From
commentary by Ofer ! Shelah in centrist Ma'ariv]
"A report entitled 'Gaza Operations Investigation: Second Update' was
presented by Israel to the UN this week. It is a response to accusations
of 'war crimes' raised by the Goldstone Report in the wake of the
22-day-long Operation Cast Lead Peruse the 40-page report. It is posted
in English on the Foreign Ministry's website. Doing so will enhance your
understanding of the ethical dilemmas faced by the State of Israel in
its fight against terrorism. It will also boost your appreciation of the
high moral standards of the IDF's rules of engagement The Jewish state
is proof that it is possible for democratic states to win unconventional
wars against terrorists while refusing to compromise its moral
integrity." [From editorial of English-language Jerusalem Post]

Hi everyone, As I type this post, the mandarin orange cake is baking in the oven. It's such an easy recipe! Once it's done baking, it'll be time to make the brown sugar glaze, which is brown sugar, milk, and butter. Pictures to arrive soon! Brad AKA Moonwolf |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here is the cake! Who wants a slice? lol Out of the oven. This is what it looked like before the brown sugar glaze. Completed cake with the brown sugar glaze. It smells heavenly! Brad AKA Moonwolf |
It's looks delicious, Brad! When is the reunion? Please give us a report afterwards. Are you also taking your Gram's lemonade? It's so hot/humid I'm betting that lemonade won't last five minutes! Wish I had a slice of that glazed cake for later tonight... :) /tricia |
I can visualize how good that is. On the 4th we spent the evening with old friends and Betsy had made a mandarian orange cake. It was three layers with a Kool Whip icing that had pineapple and coconut in it . Icing between each layer and on top,, no icing on sides, kept in the refrigerator. It was so cool, so pretty and not terrible sweet. It was perfect for a later dessert with coffee. I had never eaten mandarian orange cake before. I came home with the recipe it is on my soon to make list. Brad your brown sugar glaze sounds good too. Shirl36 |
Thank you Tricia and Shirl! Tricia, my reunion is a week from today and for that I'm making the lemonade (2 gallons worth) and two types of cobbler-one peach, one blackberry. Of course, a container of whipped topping and a can of Reddi Whip will be in tow also lol. Shirl36, I got the recipe from online. I don't care much for pineapple or coconut, so I was glad when I found this glaze. I may try it sometime with the icing you mentioned, but with mandarin oranges instead. I had a little taste of some fallen crumbs. It's very, very moist and it tastes delicious! Brad AKA Moonwolf |
That looks like a real treat, Brad! I make one with the frosting like Shirl described for one of our desserts for Easter dinner every year. |
This cake is just for my parents, myself, and my neighbors. I also made a batch of my gram's lemonade to share with them, too. Brad AKA Moonwolf |
Well, it looks like I won't be giving them their pieces of cake until next weekend. Luckily, I read that this kind of cake can be frozen :-). The lemonade, however, looks like we'll have to drink, which is no problem lol. Brad AKA Moonwolf |

What Relationship Chemistry Means For Your Love Life
By Hadley Finch
They believe divine intervention has guided them to each other to be totally authentic and transcend the normal level of consciousness.
A major goal of this relationship is to contribute to the world as a partnership–as a single, unified force.
What does a spiritual partnership look and feel like?
Imagine enjoying pure acceptance of the whole person, an acceptance that eliminates criticism, judgment and power struggles from the partnership. This is the essence of unconditional love.
Even when spiritual partners are doing something by themselves, they draw on the power and energy of the relationship's we. The I is elevated by the we.
If a disagreement occurs, it's over and resolved quickly in a win-win manner.
Spiritual partners are good at seeing different perspectives so they can solve problems and understand different points of view.
Questions are always answered with the truth, and there's never any holding back for a truthful exchange that contains seeds of spiritual growth.
Is a spiritual partnership achievable or right for you?
Few people have progressed from Soulmates to this level. It requires an enormous amount of individual work and courage, along with divine intervention.
A spiritual partnership may inspire you to find an element of spirituality and meaning in your relationships.
If you're dating to find love, how do you use this news to choose your great love match?
Study the characteristics of 3 types of healthy relationships and ask yourself which qualities you desire or require and choose dates accordingly.
And remember, no matter what type of relationship you are seeking, you won't find it without putting yourself out there and meeting potential love matches.
If you are seeking your great love now, I help you choose your great love match with dating advice like this as I personally guide your love quest in TribeOfSingles.com dating site where great singles find great love. Take a FREE look around as my guest. Let me help you find great love now!

I have heard about a politician. He had gone to a great surgeon, a brain surgeon. The politician was very important and he was contesting for the presidency of the country, so the brain surgeon had called all his colleagues and told them to be very careful. But they saw so much crap in his brain that they finally thought that it was better to put him in a coma and take out the whole brain and give it a dry cleaning.
While they were cleaning his brain in another room, the man became a little conscious, and at that very moment a man came in and said, "What are you doing lying here? You have been chosen as the president of the country!"
So he jumped off the table. The surgeons saw that he was jumping off the table and they could not believe it. They said, "Wait! Your brain is being washed!"
The politician said, "For five years at least I will not need it. You can keep it and clean it completely. I have become the president of the country. What do I need the brain for?"
Shiva used to be sitting by my side every evening in darshan. He was a guard - not my bodyguard, just one of the guards - and his function here was that when people in darshan sometimes fell down, if they felt such an upsurge of energy that they could not manage to sit, his function was to take them back to their seats or take them and make them lie down by the side.
I had never seen anything that could be called intelligent in him. He never wrote a single word, he never wrote any book about his experiences here. Perhaps he was so insensitive that although he was in the midst tremendous experiences happening, his insensitivity did not allow him to be aware of it.
But the day I left for America he followed me. Certainly in America there was a different arrangement. The whole commune was a different kind of functioning organization, and he was not chosen to be a guard. He came twice. I was in silence and isolation so he could not approach me and the others who were in the office said, "We don't need you as a guard because we have been confirmed by the American government as a city. So now guards are not needed: we have a police department."
Of course we did not allow any non-sannyasin to be in the police department. We sent our own people for the training. Our own people were the policemen, so there was no need for guards. Those policemen were functioning under the chief of police of Oregon.
Shiva was so hurt that his power had been taken away that he wrote a book, Bhagwan, The God That Failed. If he had been authentic and true he should have written, Shiva, The Guard That Failed. But nobody looks at himself; people always project on others.
At least you are aware of the split. Just go a little deeper in your meditation and the split will disappear. It is simply a confusion because you don't know that love is followed by fear as a shadow and unless that shadow disappears, love is never complete and flowering.

Have you ever noticed that
no one ever reads the footnotes? It's just like the credits in a
movie. No one reads those either. But you can learn all sorts of
interesting and weird trivia from reading footers.
For example, if you've read this far, you've now discovered that you
can hit me up for a sample chapter of one of my books. Any book,
any chapter. Even the last one. (Weirdo.)

"Loved this recipe! The only changes I made were to use raw milk and two whole eggs (instead of just egg whites). I found it made 6 slices of bread, but because I used homemade whole wheat bread, I didn't soak it very long because I was afraid my slices would fall apart. We ate this with maple syrup and everyone loved it!"
"This came out better than any restaurant Creme Brulee I've ever had (well, except maybe Club 33, but it was right there with it!). And I just used organic vanilla extract. Imagine if I had used a real vanilla bean!"
"Loved this recipe! I substituted milk for the half and half because that is what I had. Seemed perfect. My only suggestion would be add more broccoli. (Oh, and we did not puree this - and I wouldn't in the future. It was great like it was.)"
"This was a really nice cabbage soup which my family enjoyed a lot. I used fresh garlic and added an extra can of diced tomatoes with about a 1/4 cup ketchup for flavor since I was out of beef bouillon. Toward the end, I decided it still needed something so I added about 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar for some tang. Just what it needed!"
"Who would have ever thought that rutabagas and turnips would taste so good?! I used a combination of both because that is what I received in my produce box from some local farmers. Everyone kept going back for seconds. I may try to cut back on the amount of butter and oil. It certainly tasted good, but seemed to be a lot."
"I was looking for an easy, but tasty egg casserole recipe with common ingredients that I typically had on hand. I've tried several others, but this recipe was by far the easiest to make. I used chicken and apple sausage and added mushrooms because that is what I had at the time and it still turned out excellent. No need for me to look further - I'..."
"What can I say that hasn't been said. With 497 reviews, you can't go wrong with this one! Make that 498."
"I was surprised how much my family enjoyed this soup. The kids kept commenting "oh, this is so good!". We eat lots of soups, so the compliment was a high one. This was even better the second day. Also, I eat vegetables that are "in season" and this was a great use for spinach and potatoes."

Simply Filling/Core - Weekly Chat: TUES. Dec. 21- SUN. Dec. 26View Full Version : Weekly Chat: TUES. Dec. 21- SUN. Dec. 26 Tejas 12-21-2010, 12:01 PM We forgot that it's a new week!!! Here's our new pages. Tejas 12-21-2010, 12:02 PM We were all asleep at the wheel, or otherwise busy or dealing with life. Did anyone watch the eclipse? I saw it at 1:30 and 3:30AM. Spectacular. We're off to see the GKs. BBL Katpo 12-21-2010, 01:18 PM Good Tuesday morning to all!! Well, they updated our browser at work and I can get here now, at least until something else goes south. Pages load, I can stay logged in, life is good. I'm not sure how the home computer will be yet since I didn't get a chance to get here last night. It was having issues too, but I think it was my computer. I got a new one recently so here's hoping that it'll be okay. HOW IS EVERYBODY??? I have really missed being here. Let's see: I have a grandbaby. His name is Aiden and he is AWESOME! He's 5 months old. Kate and her husband live in Grapevine, which isn't too terribly far from us. We get to keep him from time to time so that's always fun. Rhonda, I didn't know you were back! Are you in Denton? I'm sure you're happy about getting to see Sandra and Curtis more often! It would be fun to get together some day. Vickie, I love Etsy! I've been sewing up a storm, mostly aprons and quilts. We're off work from this Thursday the 23rd thru Jan. 4th so I hope to get a lot more done then. I hope to get at least 50-60 aprons made by the beginning of summer and if I do, I'll get a booth at the little Farmer's Market here in town. I made Aiden a quilt for Christmas, and have lots of fabric left, so I'll also make one for his mom and dad and probably save it for next Christmas. Sandra, we spent a lot of time in Cleburne last year at Plaza Theater since my brother acts and directs there. He's opening a new play Dec. 31, The Man with the Pointed Toes. It'll run thru the end of January and sounds pretty good. I've been keeping up with your tournaments thru FB. Sounds like you've had a good year! :hug: Hugs all around, dear friends. I hope you'll let me come back. Katpo 12-21-2010, 02:48 PM I forgot to say that the avatar is Christmas cookies and no, I didn't make them but would like to. They look easy enough but everybody hates red icing ... or to be more exact, red teeth. Katpo 12-21-2010, 02:51 PM Here's a picture of Kate, me, my mom and the baby. I guess you can figure who's who. Vickie 12-21-2010, 07:47 PM Everyone looks gorgeous, Kathy. And congratulations Grandma! Tejas 12-21-2010, 08:51 PM Great picture, Kathy. Glad you can be back here. Yes, I'm in Denton. We don't see Sandra and Curtis nearly enough, but it's nice to be closer. I lived in Cleburne too...from 1950 to 1963 and my parents were there until they died. I graduated from high school there and still have many friends in the town. We had a tiring day with the GKs. We went to Northpark mall in Dallas and looked at the train display. TOO MANY PEOPLE AND CARS! I'm glad we did it, but it wasn't such a simple thing to do really. I'm going to do nothing tonight, absolutely nothing. nancy237 12-21-2010, 11:20 PM Hey guys Robin and I got terrible news Monday at his Dr appt that he has Acute Leukemia. He was admitted immediately in the hospital and the past 2 days have been full of a zillion tests and procedures to ready him for the treatment phase which will begin tomorrow. He will have to be in the hospital for a month and hopefully have remission at that point and then more treatment after that to stay in remission. We find out if it is ALL or AML tomorrow when the biopsy report returns. We are scared but focused on a positive outcome . Man how life can turn upside down in just a few days. Prayers appreciated !! Katpo 12-22-2010, 01:30 AM I don't know you, but I am very sorry to hear that! I was reading on last week's thread where you mentioned the weakness, etc. and that leukemia needed to be ruled out. I'll be praying for you all. Vickie 12-22-2010, 11:17 AM Nancy, this is just awful news for Robin. I'm SO very thankful that you sought medical treatment quickly and that action will be taken to help him right away. I will absolutely continue to pray for you both for as long as it takes. I hope he starts to feel better soon. Take care of yourself so that you have the strength to help him. Tejas 12-22-2010, 03:46 PM Dear Nancy: You and Robin were very smart to get medical treatment when he felt weak. It is easy for people to dismiss those symptoms as fatigue and to resist going to get an assessment. I shall pray for you and your family intently. I hope that you can keep us informed, and I second Vickie's advice. Stay as strong as you can. You are so right: life can change in an eye blink. Rhonda ontarget 12-22-2010, 08:17 PM Nancy, my heart goes out to you and Robin. I will continue to pray for you both. What a blessing he went to the doctor! I agree with everyone else--please take care of yourself so you can help Robin. Kathy, congratulations, Grandmother. Aiden is adorable. It is so good to see you back here. It's been too long, friend. Rhonda, North Park is always beautiful this time of year. I'm glad ya'll got to go. Now get some rest. Vickie, I like your tracker. My gf and I took a girls' afternoon out today. Now I'm resting, too. Night night, Chickies. Katpo 12-22-2010, 11:31 PM What a tiring day! I'll be glad when things get back to normal and I can get back on my regular work, eating and sleeping schedule. I can sure tell when I go too far off-plan. Night all. ontarget 12-22-2010, 11:35 PM Ditto! We just had wine coolers. sloanie 12-23-2010, 01:24 AM Nancy, I am so very sorry to hear about Robin's diagnosis! What a blessing that you took his weakness seriously. About two years ago, one of my church friends went through the same thing. She has been in remission since her first hospitalization. I am sending you a pm 'cause I want to share some things with you. Please know that we are praying for you and Robin. Lots and lots of prayers! Vickie 12-23-2010, 09:24 AM Good Morning Chicks! I'm T I R E D!!! I made 5 batches of cookies yesterday and only ate 3 cookies. I had to try them to make sure they were acceptable for those receiving them! I tried to adjust my food accordingly yesterday. The cleaning lady is here this morning. I, as all of us, have some big eating challenges coming up in the next 3 days. We also get together and celebrate on the day after Christmas as well. My plan is to be on plan for as many meals as possible but let myself have treats and yummy foods at the celebration meals. We'll see how that works this year. I have more cooking and baking to do tomorrow. There was no other time to get it done and still have it be fresh for the day after Christmas. Ugh. If I think I'm tired now.....wait. And, Jim has a cold which I think he has shared with me. That's just not right. What do you all have planned? sloanie 12-23-2010, 10:54 AM Mornin' chicks! I have more shopping to do, ugh! I plan to have Vance pick up a couple of things for my mom, and I have stocking stuffers to purchase. The best part is that I do my own stocking, so I always love what I find in there on Christmas morning ;) I plan to try a new sugar cookie recipe. I remember that Sandra (I think that's right) loves sugar cookies, too. Sandra, I'll let you know how the new recipe tastes. It's called Browned butter sugar cookies, yummy! I've got to get busy, so I'll try to check in later. Have a great day, y'all! Katpo 12-23-2010, 04:33 PM I got up early and went to do a few things while Judd slept in. Then when I got home, we wrapped some gifts and headed out to lunch. Went to Target to get the grandboy some more things (such as the CUTEST little Santa outfit), more plates for tomorrow night, and some cleaning products. Made arrangements to pick up tamales tomorrow from the lady who cleans our house and is also the cook at the Mexican restaurant we go to. Now it's back to laundry and later, going to the grocery store for Christmas and weekend food. Vickie, I hope your cold goes away before it gets started good, and that it doesn't put a damper on your Christmas plans. ontarget 12-23-2010, 05:11 PM Vickie, your plan for eating sounds good to me. We're already finished with most of our celebrating. Of course, the eating part continues. So far today I'm doing well. Yesterday my gf and I shared appetizers. (and a lot of them!) Kathy, we're having tamales for dinner tonight. Sounds like you're busy getting goodies for your little guy. Makes me smile. Sloan, you sound excited, too. How fun doing stockings! What are you getting? pam920 12-23-2010, 08:58 PM Stopping by to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I'm in Ky and my internet is sporadic. I'm using my daughters WI-FI and they are having trouble with their modem. Nancy, I will keep your husband in my prayers. I, too, am happy sought medical advice quickly. Take care of yourself too. I doubt I will make it back here before we get back home. It's cold and my body is not liking it one bit. My granddaughter and family should be arriving soon. I'm elected to cook. Will blow the diet, but I've been doing really well, so one day is not going to hurt. I won't go too crazy. Happy Holidays Chickies Tejas 12-23-2010, 09:00 PM Hi: I've spent some of today with my niece, dealing with some difficult matters related to her father (my brother), but also doing a little shopping for her grandson, so we made the best of the day and enjoyed each other's company. I went to a memorial service for a church member last night, and will go to Christmas Eve services tomorrow night. Christmas day brings breakfast with the GKs, and maybe lunch at the congregational dinner. But, I may also just stay home. Nancy, I've been thinking about you and Robin all day. Rhonda Vickie 12-24-2010, 09:40 AM Good Morning Chicks! And the marathon has begun. We had an awesome meal at the Aja restaurant last night. http://www.danahotelandspa.com/media/docs/Finalaja11210.pdf The food was spectacular and we were served at the Chef's table. He chose our meals and it was pretty much samplings of everything. We had a great time and are now rushing to get ready for breakfast out with the Great Nieces and Nephew. Then back home for a day of cooking and baking before Jim and I open our presents to each other this evening. And then, tomorrow more festivities. Sheesh! Fun but stressful. Hope you are all well. Makes me smile to read that there are tamales on the menu in Texas. No tamales here but plenty of pierogis! Tejas 12-24-2010, 05:12 PM cold today, hot tamale :lol: Katpo 12-24-2010, 05:52 PM Haha! Ours were just delivered and I tried one. Very good! We always get poblano and monterey jack cheese because we don't eat meat. She has also made bean and cheese for us before. Everything she makes is great though. Erin and Freddie got here last night from Houston, and Kate and Aiden are here now. Kate's husband isn't coming to Christmas Even at our house tonight (I won't even try to get into it but he's one selfish SOB who doesn't deserve her or the baby). I'm making charro beans and spicy corn to go with the tamales, and then for appetizers/snacks it's brie baked in puff pastry, cheese and crackers, fruit tray, vegetable tray, and boiled shrimp. Hopefully everybody won't notice that I haven't made any desserts yet. Yikes! Suppose I'd better go at least make one pie real fast. ontarget 12-24-2010, 07:41 PM I posted here earlier today with words of wisdom and cheer. Guess they're floating around in cyber space. It's chilli here. (pun intended) Nancy, you and Robin are in my prayers. Everyone enjoy Christmas festivities. I'll be back to catch you later.:clause: Vickie 12-24-2010, 08:24 PM Just came here to whine! I finished the lemon squares and made the jello mold. I made the white sauce and was melting 3 pounds of cheese into the white sauce. When I was nearly finished, I saw dark flecks of something in the sauce. It was the teflon coating from my pan!!!!! Needless to say, the cheese sauce and pan will be going into the garbage on Monday. I'm going to try to get more cheese on Sunday morning and make the macaroni and cheese over again before we go to my nieces for the day after Christmas party. I'm so aggravated......and I'm trying not to cry. I just knew I couldn't serve it to anyone. I'm going to relax for a while and then Jim and I will open our presents to each other. He's actually feeling worse. Poor guy. Hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas Eve. Nancy and Robin....we will continue to pray for you. ontarget 12-24-2010, 09:53 PM Vickie, that's good you caught the damage before anyone ate any of it. I hope Jim's feeling better. :ginger::clause: nancy237 12-25-2010, 12:40 AM Christmas in a hospital is possible. We had a hard time deciding how we would have Christmas with Robin in the hospital this year. He wanted us to still do a family gathering and open presents & then come see him. No one else could handle doing anything with him sitting at the hospital alone . I am here with him 24/7 right now and in the morning our entire family will gather in his room (8 of us) and we are going to open presents and go have a lunch together in the hospital cafeteria. It is so clear to me this year that Christmas is 2 things only....Christ's holy birthday and family !!! It has been a roller coaster this week with some liver issues, high glucose levels, and a one night high fever but overall his first round of Chemo is going well and will be done tomorrow night. Tomorrow is a drug that is hard on the liver and his liver is already being a tiny bit temperamental. So once we get through that we will feel like we are over a major hurdle. Next week is when he will feel the worse before his body begins to rebuild healthy blood cells. We are learning to ask friends for what we need and limit visitors. I appreciate all your prayers and Sloan we are taking your advice on the oral care. About my weight...I am losing but I would not recommend anyone follow my method LOL Katpo 12-25-2010, 01:15 AM Bless your heart. That's about all I can say -- you hang in there. I love your plan for tomorrow and you are so right about the reason. Tejas 12-25-2010, 01:20 AM Yes, Nancy, ask for what you need. Don't be reticent at all, just ask. Real friends will provide. It sounds like you have a good plan for Christmas. Stay strong and focus on what matters. Merry Christmas, everyone. Rhonda sloanie 12-25-2010, 01:38 AM Merry Christmas everyone! I know we are all enjoying our family and friends, but we are thinking about Nancy and Robin. My extended family on my mom's side gathered tonight. We had about 60 in attendance. One of the cousins brought a DVD he had made from old movies that were taken at family Christmas parties from 1955-1965. So many of the aunts and uncles have passed on. It was awesome to see all of them so young and full of life, but it was also very emotional. In one clip my dad, he was about 23 years old, stole a kiss from my mom under the mistletoe and pretended to swoon then went back for more! It was so precious to see that. We are home now, and the kids are wearing their traditional Christmas eve present, new pajamas. We will just hang out here tomorrow and enjoy the white Christmas we are having. I hope you all have a blessed time tomorrow. Nancy, we are all praying!!!! Vickie 12-25-2010, 10:43 AM Good Morning Chicks! A VERY Merry Christmas to each of you. Nancy, I'm so happy that Robin is getting treatment so quickly and that all seems to be going well. You will both be in my thoughts today and I celebrate and am thankful for my friends and family. I think your plans for today are beautiful. I'm off to get ready to enjoy the rest of my day. I'll be up early tomorrow making more macaroni and cheese for the "day after" party! ontarget 12-25-2010, 03:31 PM Nancy, you're right about the reason for the season. Your plan for today sounds good. Just keep telling all what you need and don't need. You're smart. Robin and you are blessed with family and friends. I hope each of you is having the day you want. I'll be back later. Tejas 12-25-2010, 11:30 PM I hope you all had a good day, that Nancy and Robin made the very best out of a difficult situation, and that Jojo and DH are finding the support they need to get through the holiday :grouphug: We had a good day, visiting the GKs and other family. Our evening has been blessedly quiet, with phone calls to and from friends in various parts of Canada. :tree: :ginger: Rhonda sloanie 12-26-2010, 12:25 AM MERRY CHRISTMAS, Y'ALL! We've had a quiet day. It's been snowing for the last 24 hours, but most of the roads are in good shape. I hope you all have had a peaceful day. I like Sandra's sentiment: I hope you all have had the day that you wanted. Nancy, I've been praying for y'all today. I'm especially focusing on Robins mouth and liver! Let us know if there are any specific prayer requests you all have. Jojo, y'all have been on my mind today. My mom was talking about how kind people have been to her this Christmas, and I told her your story about the neighbors decorating in Beth's favorite color. She was very touched by that. Are you and Mark okay? I really hope you have had some blessings this Christmas. Have a good night, chicks! Vickie 12-26-2010, 09:21 AM Merry Day After! I got on the scale this morning and I'm up 4 pounds. I don't think I've eaten enough to gain that much, but the salt is a problem. I have one more party today and then back to some serious business. My family was sure to be thankful for each other yesterday. I told them about my cyber friends and they will keep you all in their prayers as well. Have a wonderful, quiet day. nancy237 12-26-2010, 10:33 AM We had a nice Christmas time at the hospital and were able to all eat together in the cafeteria.. We had 2 bad nights Thur & Friday night with a reaction to the steriod medicines that caused a major mental confusion period from about 12 pm til morning. The praise is that they headed it off last night and He slept great and that let me leave the room (while daughter slept in room with him) and sleep very well in a family room. It was urgent that I get that sleep because after 2 nights of his reaction I had hit the wall with the stress & lack of sleep. We had lots of people praying for last night so it was an answered prayer. Specific prayers now... Praise for last day of Chemo drugs ..they end at 6 pm today. Pray for chemo effects this next week to be light and his mouth be healthy. (thanks sloan..we are learning that the mouth can be a big problem ) Pray now for the drugs to clear the leukemia and bring remission for this treatment . We will know in about 4 weeks with a bone marrow biopsy. Pray for the liver to continue to improve. Thank you for your support & prayers.... Vickie 12-26-2010, 01:00 PM Nancy, I'm SO glad you posted as I've been hoping for news of Robin. Please tell him that your cyber friends are all hoping for a complete recovery and remission. If he's the kissy huggy kind of guy, give him one of each from me. I'm glad you got some sleep but sorry that you had to hit the wall in order to get it for yourself. Remember, if you get sick, Robin will have no one to lean on. I will send up a silent prayer at 6 p.m. in happiness for the end of the chemo and will visualize a healthy mouth and no side affects for Robin during the week. Also good thoughts for his touchy liver. And prayers and good thoughts for you too, my friend. Tejas 12-26-2010, 04:16 PM Nancy, I'm thinking of you and Robin continuously and hoping for only the best. Yes, the mouth can really take a beating during chemo. I remember my late DH's struggles with that very clearly. Vickie, I'm not even going to get on the scales. I had to break out a pair of jeans that I thought I had outgrown forever! That made me really unhappy. Off to the gym to get on the monster elliptical trainer. I've just set up the Bose system that my DH got for me. What a sweetheart! I've wanted one for years and now I have one. The sound is HUGE! ontarget 12-26-2010, 05:15 PM Nancy, I echo what others are saying, and I'll be saying prayers for you and Robin. Curtis went to church today while I stayed home with a cold. When he got home, we went for burgers and got to visit with some of our church family. I tried not to breathe on anyone. We had good fellowship. Scales? I may have a private wi Tuesday as I get back on track. I have definitely indulged but am now on Day 201 sugar-free. Shocker, isn't it? sloanie 12-26-2010, 06:11 PM Happy boxing day everyone! I admit that I am not boxing up anything today, are y'all? I have done a little cleaning, and now I'm watching an old Disney movie. Nancy, I'm already praying for remission/cure, liver protection, and a healthy mouth. I'm so glad today is the last day for chemo. When will you all get to go home? Please take care of yourself! I'm gonna get off here so I can finish my movie. I'll try to check in later. Tejas 12-26-2010, 08:17 PM Sandra, there is no way I could get through the holiday sugar free. Congratulations on 200 + days. I went to the gym: 20 minutes on the :ebike: and 15 minutes on the :woops: ontarget 12-26-2010, 08:42 PM And I'm impressed with your exercising. I haven't been able to commit to doing that. Katpo 12-26-2010, 11:20 PM I've had a really good last few days (eating wise); we had salmon for dinner last night at the inlaws and a lot of vegetables. No dessert, and half a roll. They got me a fitbit, which I am really excited about. If you've never heard of them you should check it out. fitbit.com vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Researchers Turn Greenland Shark Waste Into Biofuel
A surprising and odd source is being tapped in order to provide biofuel for Inuits.
The Greenland shark is one of the largest species of sharks. Its meat is considered toxic to humans and it is a complete nuisance to fisherman.
Now, researchers hope they have found a new use for the grand creature.
The Greenland shark is native to the frigid Arctic waters, and thousands of them get caught and die in fishermen's nets off Greenland every year and are thrown back into the sea. The animals are comparable to the Great White Shark in size at 23 feet and can weigh up to a ton.
So rather than have them caught and die accidentally in nets, researchers at the Arctic Technology Center (ARTEK) in Sisimiut in western Greenland are experimenting with ways that they can utilize the oily flesh to produce bio-gas out of fishing industry waste.
In Uummannaq, the Greenland shark represents more than half of the waste disposed of by the local fishermen.
Marianne Willemoes Joergensen of ARTEK's branch at the Technical University of Denmark said, "I think this is an alternative where we can use the thousands of tons of leftovers of products from the sea, including those of the numerous sharks."
Leading the pilot project based in the Uummannaq village in northwestern Greenland, Joergensen says that the shark meat, once it is mixed with macro-algae and household wastewater, could "serve as biomass for biofuel production."
"Biofuel is the best solution for this kind of organic waste, which can be used to produce electricity and heating with a carbon neutral method," she said.
According to estimates, biofuel derived from sharks and other sea products could supply 13% of energy consumption in the village of Uummannaq with its 2,450 inhabitants.
If the project succeeds, it would help the many isolated villages on the expansive island to become self-sufficient in terms of energy.
Next year, Joergensen plans to run tests at an organic waste treatment plant in a project financed by the EU in Uummannaq, using a mixture of shark meat, wastewater and macro-algae to create a fish mince that can be used to produce biogas.
"Entire trawlers are sometimes full of sharks and they are caught everywhere, especially off the east and west of Greenland, to the fishermen's great dismay," says Bo Lings who used to work on a big trawler.
Leif Fontaine, the head of Greenland's fishing and hunting association added, "It's a large predator that devours fish, squid, seals and other marine life, and it also ruins the lines and nets of the halibut fishermen."
Fishing is Greenland's biggest export industry, with halibut being its second-biggest product after shrimp.
The Inuits once hunted the shark, which has "become a problem for the environment", for its razor-sharp teeth that they used to make knives and for its liver oil that was used to light homes.
One of ARTEK's founders Joern Hansen explains, "There are too many sharks in the nets and they just get thrown back."
Greenlanders typically throw their fishing industry waste and household wastewater into the sea.
Hansen says that with over half of all the waste in the Uummannaq municipality containing large amounts of fat that are suitable for producing future biofuels in the future, it should no longer be considered as mere waste.
"All you have to do is set up installations in the fish processing centers, like in Ilulissat where the shrimp and halibut plant is partly heated by fish waste," he said.
According to Aksel Blytmann, a consultant at Greenland's fishing and hunting association, the shark could end up being an "unexpected energy source."
Blytmann explained that at one point Uummannaq paid fishermen a $38-reward for a shark heart in order to keep their numbers down. He says this practice still continues in other municipalities in the northwestern and western parts of Greenland.
He claims that the species "swarms in the Arctic waters and is not in danger of extinction."
However, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and the Danish branch of the Worldwide Fund for Nature do not agree.
WWF specialist on ocean mammals, Anne-Marie Bjerg, insists that the shark-for-biofuel project "is not a good idea, not at all," and believes other sustainable energy projects should be worked on instead.
"We know very little about the Greenland shark, which lives in a limited geographic zone, the Arctic, she said.
Despite the accounts of the fishermen, she insisted that the mammal "does not pose big problems to Greenland's fishing industry."
"We are opposed to the commercial use of marine mammals, such as the Greenland shark, which is not universal and whose population size is unknown," she said.
